* [[Post-Kiss Catatonia]]: In "The Party", he helps Rachel clean up her home at her party before her parents come home. She rewards him with a kiss on the cheek, resulting in him crashing head first to the floor with a goofy smile on his face.

* [[Speech Impediment]]: In 'The Sock', Gumball points out that Darwin has a lisp where gills whistle. Darwin retorts with "You're so stinky, sailors sing sea shanties about how stinky you are!" making a whistling sound with every 'S'. This only happens for that one and only time, though. In fact, ''the very next sentence'' he says contains 'S'es without the lisp.

{{quote| The maternal member of the Watterson family (and the same kind of cat as Gumball). She holds down a job at the rainbow factory and appears to be the only member of the family with any sense of responsibility. She's normally collected and organized but when things go awry, she succumbs to violent bouts of anger (almost always sparked by her sons).}}

* [[Action Mom]]
* [[Action Mom]]
* [[Amazingly Embarrassing Parents|Amazingly Embarrassing Parent]]: In "The Meddler" she decides to follow Gumball around at school everywhere, even in the public shower, doing things such as feeding him like a baby and calling him "Gummypuss".

* [[Badass]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]
** Alternatingly, not at the same time.
* [[Berserk Button]]: Being called a loser (at least by Miss Simian).
* [[Berserk Button]]: MANY. Being called a loser (at least by Miss Simian), threatening her family and disrespecting her authority. And '''DON'T YOU DARE''' run away from her if she finds out you're in trouble.
* [[Blue Boy Pink Girl]]: Inverted with both her and Richard.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She is really sincere, but sometimes she can get really violent, so it's best you run for it if she does.
* [[Closer to Earth]]
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: Has known her husband, Richard, since they were Gumball's age.
* [[Competition Freak]]: She has a huge drive to win. In "The Fridge", she wins the company paintball game by shooting everyone, even her own teammates, to win the game. She also tries to pull an [[I Surrender, Suckers]] moment to Gumball during the family paintball game and cheats Anais out of six spaces while playing "Dodge or Dare" with the family in "The Game" through [[Loophole Abuse]].
* [[Control Freak]]: Pointed out by Anais in "The Job". Anais thinks Nicole is worried about Richard working as a pizza delivery guy because she thinks it's upsetting the balance of power in the house {{spoiler|when in reality Richard having a job will destroy the universe.}}
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Don't make her mad. She is a ''lot'' stronger than she looks.

* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Though they're visible far less often then Gumball's.
* [[Cute Little Fangs]]: Though they're visible far less often then Gumball's.
* [[Death Glare]]: "The Castle" gives her [[Glowing White Eyes]] swirling with ghosts enough to frighten even the most delinquent person in Elmore.
* [[Determinator]]: She gets scary when she gets mad and probably can and '''will''' chase you down. ''The DVD'' is based entirely on this.
* [[Determinator]]: She gets scary when she gets mad and probably can and '''will''' chase you down. "The DVD" and "The Limit" are based entirely on this.
* [[Disproportionate Retribution]]: When Gumball and Darwin laugh at some of Richard's past screw-ups, not knowing he was within earshot, she hurls cement cupcakes at them and downright refuses to provide for them until they apologize, when all she needed to do was scold them for being rude.
* [[Doting Parent]]
* [[The Dreaded]]: Her own family is scared of her, especially when she gets made. Case in point: in "The Quest", Gumball and Darwin both agree that suffering Tina Rex's wrath is better than suffering Nicole's.
* [[Full Name Ultimatum]]: Subverted as she never uses Gumball's [[Embarrassing Middle Name]], it's always "Gumball Watterson".
* [[Hair-Trigger Temper]]: Nicole cares for her family, but easily becomes upset when she discovers they did something wrong. She's even taking anger management classes, in which her behavior is far worse than she acts elsewhere.

* [[Hartman Hips]]: Not including her head, her hips are the widest feature of her body.
* [[Hot Mom]]
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: With Richard.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: With Richard.
* [[Killer Rabbit|Killer Cat]] She has proven herself to be made of this trope in countless episodes, most notably in The Fight, where she mercilessly tears through Tina Rex's father just at the mere inkling of assuming that Gumball was being bullied.

* [[Magic Skirt]]: Including one scene where she's [[Unwilling Suspension|hung upside down]] without it moving.
* [[Mama Bear]]
* [[Mama Bear]]: She's VERY protective of her own family.
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Masculine Girl to Richard's Feminine Boy.
* [[Muscles Are Meaningless]]: In "The Authority", she's able to bend an IV rack in several different places and then bend it back to normal. Though it seems she only has this super strength when she's angry.
* [[Not so Above It All]]: Nicole would be insufferable if not for her insecurity and occasional lapses in judgment.
* [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Woman]]: Depends on the episode, which sometimes gives the role to Anais instead. If she loses her temper, though, this goes out the window.

* [[Parenting the Husband]]
* [[Parenting the Husband]]: Considering Richard is dumber than a brick...
* [[Rage Breaking Point]]: "The Limit" shows us what happens when her family pushes her buttons just one too many times.
* [[Super Weight]]: Unclear where she lies on the scale. At first glance appears to be 1, but some incidents, such as beating up Tina Rex's father (despite being 1/100th his size) suggests it may be higher. The nature of her power is unclear other than it appears to be fueled by anger.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Anais's Girly Girl.
* [[Tuckerization]]: Named after Ben Bocquelet's mother.
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]
* [[Voice of the Legion]]: When sufficiently pissed off, her voice gets really deep as well as echoing.
* [[What Does She See in Him?]]: Really, whatever made her marry Richard, it's a mystery. One episode implies that his bravery and self-esteem got her attention, but it has to be more than that.
* [[Women Are Wiser]]
* [[Workaholic]]: Played for laughs in "The Painting" when Principal Brown tells her to relax and stop working so hard for Anais's sake. But she's so used to it that she can't relax and does her household chores anyway, and then proceeds to trash the house on purpose to give herself more "work".
